Default Had to shoot something.

I almost went through withdrawal this week because I had no time for the camera. I have experienced that before when I don't have time to ride but this was something new.

OMG, I have another obsession.
So, Thursday night, even though it was threatening to rain, I took the camera to the yard.

Both shots are great but #1 really stands out the most IMO.

Wow Ftboah, these are two gorgeous captures. Great DoF in both and lovely colour in the background. I am glad that you got time for the camera again. You made up for lost time withe these.

If you do have an obsession, then please let's NOT find a cure! These two photos are just lovely. Your composition on the first is PERFECT. Nice work, Deb.

Glad to see that you're out of denial and acknowledging your obsession. that's the first step to a cure....wait!...there is no cure! Nothing left to do but feed your addiction. Nicely done and I;m looking for your next posting.

First one is stunning. I love the DOF and the details. Lovely shot.

I agree the first shot is amazing! You said it was about to rain, was it overcast? I love shooting in overcast weather.
